I don't know anything about Tyson personally. Heard a lot of their drivers are happy there, though.

I'd go with tyson if you can get in. You are paid because of the products they sell and not the freight money they charge. Sort of the reason people want to work for walmart directly.They sell products in stores thats how they make a profit and your an employee insuring the merchandise gets to the stores. Best of Luck in your search.

The benefits just changed, haven't been able to find out any info about the new plans. Plenty of miles, and yes, they run you back and forth, coast to coast.

If you had read the post I copied you would've seen the miles I got while I was with them.

Mostly produce it seems like, but everything. They have gotten rid of their dry vans, so it is strictly refer. Everything from lettuce to paint to bleach to beer to meat and everything in between. Their biggest customer is Fresh Express.
